DottaandPaperclip 66f61521a1 fix(runner-e2e): preserve negation in async bootstrap task
State each bootstrap prohibition separately so the production file-delivery classifier does not treat an isolated clause as a requested output. Keep immediate completion stress, private marker evidence and all settlement assertions unchanged; version the authored Copilot protection definition.

DottaandPaperclip 6c70800a66 fix(runner-e2e): reserve remote runtime readiness budget
Include lease revalidation and the readiness RPC in the existing setup reserve, so late lease admission cannot consume the observation window. Keep the authored outer deadline, single installation, armed baseline action gate, and teardown reserve unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip a6a5417cd9 test(runner-e2e): qualify Stop at pending native permission
Add explicit Cursor and Copilot local/Daytona cells that retain an unanswered callback before a caller-correlated Stop, require cancelled provider settlement and stale-answer rejection, and independently verify no effects through owned retirement. Normal completion and provider death do not satisfy this active-work oracle.

DottaandFry 3ca196b0a6 feat(agents): persist agent files across tasks without revision history (#14420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent needs personal files across tasks and sessions.
> - AGENTS.md is one file in that directory. Supporting files need the
same persistence.
> - The Instructions Editor and agent runs must share one current
directory.
> - Concurrent runs should apply only the files they change. The last
sync of the same file wins.
> - This pull request uses existing file transport and removes temporary
copies after sync.
> - Old instruction-only sessions keep their restore contract. New saves
do not create revision history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14325. This replaces its revision-oriented design with persistent
agent files. Keep #14325 unmerged.

Transport prerequisite #14416 merged first at
`d172197117a14b80a1eb2d2835a0e7cce2679656`. This PR now targets master
and remains below 100 changed files.

Related work: #4513 and #8798 cover instruction tooling. This change
handles run synchronization, cross-task personal files, browser editing,
and old-session restoration.

## What Changed

- Keep one current directory per company and agent. Point AGENT_HOME at
a temporary working copy for each active run. Keep task files and
provider HOME separate.
- Restore text, binary files, and nested folders through workspace
transport. Exclude remote agent files from task Git snapshots with a
self-ignoring file inside the reserved runtime directory; never write
through repository-controlled Git metadata.
- Collect after the provider and child processes have stopped. Keep
resumable conversation state.
- Apply changed and deleted files under the agent lock. The last sync
wins for the same file. Unrelated concurrent changes survive.
- Remove temporary copies after successful sync, rejected sync, and
staging failure. Register ownership before copying so restart recovery
can remove interrupted preparation. Retry transient synchronization up
to three times. Preserve the original remote lease reference until
deletion succeeds; restart cleanup never acquires a replacement sandbox.
Do not create captured directories or a conflict-review queue for new
runs.
- Keep browser editing, stale-draft protection, and streaming binary
downloads. Keep the instruction entry and text editor limited to 1 MiB.
- Keep historical agent-folder sync failures on their affected runs
instead of repeating them above current saved instructions. Preserve
legacy candidate review and current browser-save errors. Avoid duplicate
quota warnings while retaining separate sync failures when they describe
a different problem.
- Require target-scoped caller grants for peer instruction access, while
preserving self edits, responsible-user checks, and protected-change
consent.
- Treat full storage as a nonblocking run warning, never an agent pause
or run-admission failure. Restore already-over-quota saved folders so
ordinary agent cleanup can recover; warn on each run until cleanup. The
run detail view shows the warning.
- Allow 256 MiB per file, 2 GiB per directory, and 100,000 entries. Hash
large files as streams. Check editor-save quotas with metadata instead
of hashing unrelated files.
- Preserve old native inputs, instruction-only copies, paths, digests,
and pending legacy candidates. Adopt old revision heads once. New writes
do not append history rows.
- Add idempotent migration 0287 and verify upgrades from the preview
tables and receipts.
- Add nine interactive stories under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including automatic incoming edits, stale browser drafts, and
storage-limit diagnostics.

## Verification

- Merge candidate: `4f5390107ec6ffd80a76d1d2e85530e66f21d079`, after
merging current master and the landed transport prerequisite.
Integration required no manual conflict resolution; the feature remains
99 changed files. Full workspace typecheck, production build, token
gates, and 715 focused tests passed on this merge candidate. Fresh
Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. All 55 checks
passed, with four conditional skips, including the build, typecheck,
browser E2E, and canary dry run. A single retry recovered four jobs
interrupted by runner shutdowns; no source changes were required.
- Historical-warning UI fix: all 6,834 UI tests across 640 files passed,
including regression coverage for three old failures, legacy preserved
edits, and warnings scoped to the affected run. Full workspace
typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token gates passed.
Browser-verified Storybook playtests passed for Historical Failures
After Successful Save, Storage Limit, and Full Storage Run Warning.
- Review follow-ups at `4e20c9fb2`: all 18 focused tests passed,
including external Git directories, linked worktrees, symlinks,
hardlinks, and distinct I/O failures alongside storage warnings. Server
and UI typechecks, token gates, and the production build passed.
- Storage warning regressions at `0724f3012`: all 33 directory tests and
all five heartbeat-list tests passed, with no skips in their successful
runs. They cover repeated runs while full, an already-over-quota saved
folder, cleanup, warnings retained after unrelated save failures, and
bounded warnings in large result JSON. Server typecheck passed after the
final warning fixes.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, and token gates passed
during this follow-up. Product E2E harness: 631 tests passed across 52
files; harness typecheck passed. Earlier native session/context and
directory/legacy collection suites passed 537 tests; Runner
unit/transport suites passed 329 tests.
- **Real E2E at `0724f3012` (before this follow-up):** legacy local
Codex and native Daytona Codex each passed six tasks, one server
restart, seven independent assertions, and cleanup verification. Both
prove browser-to-agent edits, agent-to-browser edits, nested/binary
restoration, per-file last-sync-wins, a successful run after an
oversized save rejection, and cleanup clearing the warning.
- Native local Codex also passed the six-task quota flow before the
final warning-retention fixes. That pass began at `918d1ed02` while the
bounded-result warning fix was being edited, so it is not claimed as
exact-final-head evidence. Its final-head rerun failed during embedded
PostgreSQL bootstrap before any provider run: the macOS host had 87,365
of 87,381 SysV semaphores occupied. No unrelated services or kernel
limits were changed.
- The final-source report intentionally records **2/3 cells passed**,
preserving the blocked native-local attempt:
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-report/`.
Earlier failed attempts and provenance notes remain under
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-input/` and
the original campaign directories.
- Daytona used immutable image
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:5643f0d801417cae3581833a1a3bc6715b325e028602738d2652c44cac5dc6bf`
and its exact Linux runner binary. Controller source is `0724f3012`;
image source is recorded separately.
- Legacy-session compatibility and all three ACP Stop/resume browser
regressions passed on the prior validated feature head
`169fab46d5af21caa2269b4c1b29b69c933a6951`. They assert the same
provider session is retained and interrupted writes are not replayed.
Migration upgrade tests also passed earlier.
- Nine interactive stories are under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including **Full Storage Run Warning**. Its playtest and visual browser
inspection passed; the warning states that runs continue and the editor
remains available.
- Prior-head checks on `4e20c9fb2`: 55 passed, two conditional jobs
skipped, no failures or pending checks. All eight browser E2E shards and
their aggregate passed. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no findings;
all review threads are resolved, the security scan passed, and GitHub
reports no merge conflicts.
- The broad local follow-up test run was interrupted after host
semaphore exhaustion affected isolated PostgreSQL instances. It also
encountered the existing macOS long-path fixture failure and two timeout
failures. This is not a claim that the full local suite passed. Logs are
retained; focused storage/warning tests passed.

## Risks

- A later sync can overwrite an earlier edit to the same file, including
a saved browser edit. There is no text merge or retained version. This
is the intended last-sync-wins policy.
- A save that exceeds a storage limit is rejected and its temporary copy
is discarded. The run itself continues normally, and later runs restore
the last saved files with a warning until cleanup. Transient sync
failures get bounded retries. An I/O failure partway through a sync can
leave some files updated; a failed receipt does not claim whole-folder
success.
- Larger folders increase copy time, network traffic, and temporary disk
usage. Active runs still need working copies. Terminal runs do not
accumulate archives. Operators must provision disk for agents and
configured concurrency; these limits are not company-wide quotas.
- A restored old native session remains instruction-only until a fresh
session starts. Its original conflict fence and existing pending
candidates remain compatible.
- Provider processes close at the collection boundary. Conversation
resume remains available, but warm process reuse is lost.
- Backups must include the instance filesystem and database. External
bundles keep their existing behavior until explicitly moved to managed
storage.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size. Reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools assisted this change. Real provider E2E uses `gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 992f720262 fix: make runner task context ownership explicit (#13753)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100). -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task descriptions, comments, continuation data, skills, and
execution rules enter several agent adapters.
> - The same source can be rendered by more than one automatic input
carrier.
> - Failed resumes can also rebuild input from stale or compact context.
> - This pull request gives each Paperclip-owned source one delivery
owner and preserves the required transport boundaries.
> - It adds deterministic adapter, interaction, runner, and browser
tests for these boundaries.
> - The benefit is more predictable context delivery with explicit
evidence for later live qualification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13144 removes a duplicate environment payload and bounds wake
lists. Related: #11360 addresses Hermes resume behavior. This pull
request preserves compatible active-session formats while repairing
context ownership and stale question creation.

**What happened?**

Task descriptions and comments could enter more than one automatic
context block. Native transports could wrap a complete model input in a
second task envelope. Some legacy and gateway adapters could omit the
owned assignment on ordinary tasks or rebuild a failed resume with stale
compact context. A continuation could also request a question after
newer human comments had arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Each task or comment source has one automatic model-facing owner.
Distinct comment IDs and repeated wording remain distinct. Fresh
fallback attempts rebuild the required full context. A question request
is rejected when newer queued human direction makes it stale. Harness
access policy remains owned by execution configuration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build a task with a description and current comments.
2. Capture the actual adapter or runner input.
3. Compare source ownership and task-envelope nesting.
4. Queue a human comment before a continuation requests a question.
5. Trigger a failed resume and inspect the fresh retry input.
6. Run the focused adapter, interaction, runner, and browser checks.

## What Changed

- Add shared prompt-section selection at the provider-attempt boundary.
- Deliver owned assignment context through native, legacy CLI, ACP,
gateway, cloud, Pi, Kimi, Grok, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, OpenClaw, and
Hermes paths.
- Rebuild full or compact context after resume recovery changes the
attempt. Add native and Claude ACP tests of actual recovery requests.
- Preserve custom templates, loaded instruction files, execution
policies, and older active-session formats.
- Record continuation source metadata and reject stale question creation
under the issue-row lock.
- Add explicit Product E2E context-integrity profiles, prerequisite
gates, credential-isolation checks, and report fixtures.
- Bypass service-worker forwarding for same-origin Vite development
modules. A real Chromium test fails with resource exhaustion before the
repair and passes after it. Production asset caching keeps its existing
policy.
- Add browser diagnostics and service-worker module-loading regressions.
- Add an explicit zero-retry eval option. The default retry behavior
remains unchanged. Each campaign records its effective policy.
- Remove the model-facing working-directory sentence from four prompt
builders. Existing workspace, sandbox, permission, and custom-template
configuration remains unchanged.
- Align the everyday workflow assertion with the current 47-entry
catalog.

Compared with current upstream master, the branch carries the
context-ownership implementation and its tests, the explicit
context-integrity catalog and evidence harness, and the focused browser
regression checks.

## Verification

**Merge assessment:** focused regression evidence supports merge. This
is not full completion of the original broad qualification matrix. The
maintainer has authorized merge after fresh verification of the master
integration.

- Current head: `bbd52f82114eabf09bc7b1a7e97d54a5b43bbc00`. This
integrates current master `2f585ef26a1814fa209715242d1ca791b63e4c4e`.
All 14 conflicts are resolved. Cancellation checks, workspace
finalization, native Grok support, and both sets of tests are retained.
- Current-head Greptile: **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The review
names this exact commit. All **59 reported checks are terminal: 55
successful, 4 skipped, zero pending or failing**. This includes the full
root general and serialized suites, separate runner checks, typecheck,
build, canary, browser E2E, Docker, and security checks. The successful
legacy security status is included in that total.
- After integration: workspace typecheck and full build passed. Separate
runner checks passed: **2,160 TypeScript tests (10 skipped), 582 Rust
tests, and 39 preparation checks**. Other passing checks include 621
Product E2E harness units, 376 focused shared/adapter tests, 160
real-database/API tests, 86 Hermes tests, 18 browser-support checks, and
Product E2E typechecking. The complete root suite passed in CI. The
duplicate local monolithic root run was stopped after that CI result; it
is not counted as a completed local pass.
- New native recovery coverage retains full assignment, completion
contract, and explicit skill selection after safe replacement, for old
and prepared input formats. Full native session test file: **136/136
passed**.
- New Claude ACP coverage captures actual fresh, resumed, and
missing-session fallback requests. It verifies one assignment copy,
comment order, identical text under distinct comment IDs, and full
fallback context. Full file: **33/33 passed**. Both affected TypeScript
checks passed.
- Existing deterministic tests cover source revisions, approval and
trust boundaries, completion validation, custom templates, compatible
sessions, standalone driver wrapping, and maintained adapter transport
requests.
- Provider-free browser support: **17/17 passed** after the master
merge. Service-worker unit tests: **33/33 passed**. The module-overload
regression failed before the repair and passed after it in real
Chromium.

### Fresh live comparisons

The new batch ran exactly four Product E2E attempts. **All four passed
on the first attempt; no retries.** Each has six terminal matchers plus
the existing browser lifecycle and invariant checks.

| Exact case ID | Control | Candidate |
|---|---|---|
| `core-compatibility.runner-codex.local.plan-revise-accept` | Passed |
Passed |
|
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`
| Passed | Passed |

The plan case checks a revised canonical plan and revision-bound
approval before completion. The question case restarts the server before
submitting the answer, then verifies the continuation completes.

Control source is `dfa4e1bda8d50a1a01746603251a9128dbe9d0d6`. Candidate
source is `79fcdb5dece501d28064ea9da306603881b46f0c`. They use identical
frozen definitions and provider versions: Codex `0.156.0` with
`gpt-5.6-sol`; ACPX `0.13.1` / Claude ACP `0.73.0` with
`claude-sonnet-5`. The September 24 head added master browser recovery
and test-only changes. The September 28 head also integrates newer
master changes, including cancellation, workspace finalization, and
native Grok. These are frozen-source live results, not exact-head live
runs.

The candidate received one description copy where the control initially
received three. The submitted initial plan envelopes were 7,969 versus
19,097 characters. Question envelopes were 7,592 versus 18,919. These
are structural measurements, not whole-provider token or dollar savings.

### Earlier evidence and failed attempts

- The preceding fresh batch has four effective passing pairs: OpenCode
comment continuation and assigned skill, native Codex comment
continuation, and native Claude comment continuation. It retains **11
attempts: eight passed and three failed**.
- Original failures remain recorded: missing local PostgreSQL library
links before task creation; host-sleep cleanup after task/page checks
passed; and a Claude **control** session-open rejection before a model
turn. Setup was repaired identically on both worktrees. The permitted
unchanged infrastructure retries passed. The underlying Claude provider
startup error was not retained and remains unknown.
- Older R2 retains **17 passes and one failure** across 18 attempts,
including eight both-pass native/legacy Codex/Claude pairs. Its OpenCode
blank-page failure led to the service-worker repair. R2 is historical
evidence: master changed the native fixed prompt and removed duplicate
wake environment data afterward.
- The September 24 CI run initially failed one unrelated preview
readiness test (`ECONNREFUSED` on its local fixture). Its test and
production code match master. Isolated local verification passed **28
tests, 3 skipped**. One unchanged CI retry passed the full shard: **831
passed, 1 skipped**, including all **31 preview-exposure tests**. The
aggregate CI gate passed afterward. The precise startup cause remains
unknown; a port race is a hypothesis, not a proved cause.

### Limits

The original wider profile/workflow matrix, repeated trials, and remote
Daytona qualification are incomplete. These results support a focused
merge recommendation, not statistical equivalence or universal harness
qualification. Some usage receipts are missing in both variants, so no
token or dollar savings are claimed. The $500 ceiling was preserved
using conservative allowances; failed attempts and unknown charges
remain in the ledger.

Reproduce the focused additions with `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`. Full checks use `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and the separate runner
checks. Paid evals require the frozen definitions, profiles, and
credentials; do not use `--all` as a substitute for the selected cases.

## Risks

- Context placement changes can affect model behavior. Deterministic
checks cover the selected paths, but live qualification remains
incomplete.
- The stale-question guard can reject a request when queued human
comments arrived during the run. This is intended.
- New stored inputs and model envelopes retain compatibility readers for
older active sessions.
- Custom templates may intentionally repeat content.
- Removing a model-facing working-directory sentence does not change
filesystem, command, sandbox, or permission configuration.
- The worker bypass applies only to same-origin development module
paths. Cache-policy tests preserve private-response handling and
production asset caching. Mounted HTTP fixture changes remain test-only.
- This PR does not claim measured token savings or statistical
equivalence across every harness.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model gpt-6-astra, with repository tools and code
execution. Bounded supporting work used gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-6-luna. The
serving context-window size is not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip f1a394bd30 feat(runner): add Grok Build through native ACP (#13882)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and governs their work.
> - Its native runner uses structured provider protocols for sessions
and tools.
> - Grok Build supports ACP over stdio, but the runner did not expose
it.
> - Native execution requires company-scoped credentials, verified
identities, and permission gates.
> - This change adds Grok through ACPX for local and Daytona execution.
> - Subscription login and explicit API-key execution have separate
credential paths.
> - Qualification grades real tool outcomes, durable state, and browser
workflows.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13845, #13847, #13850, #13878, #13901, #13973, #13977, #13979.

Add **Grok Build** to `paperclip_runner` with `provider: "acpx"`,
`acpxAgent: "grok"`, and model `grok-4.7`. Existing legacy Grok agents
keep their adapter. Merge the three companion fixes (#13973, #13977,
#13979) before treating the integrated Product qualification as deployed
behavior.

## What Changed

- Synchronize shared, TypeScript, Rust, server, validation, and UI
provider contracts.
- Run Grok native ACP stdio through ACPX and the authenticated Paperclip
MCP bridge. Verify the pinned executable and exact ACP model identity.
- Prefer company subscription login. Support an explicit company-secret
API key without automatic paid fallback. Fence refresh and copyback to
the same account and remove private runtime credentials after
containment.
- Preserve selected permissions, cancellation, durable session identity,
resume, and restart recovery. Keep unsupported steering and goals
unavailable. Preserve missing usage and cost as unknown.
- Package checksum-verified Grok Build 1.0.13 for Daytona with an
immutable, signed image built on EC2.
- Add deterministic admission, protocol, permissions, identity,
credential, failure, and cleanup checks. Add the maintained 39-case
protocol roster and separate subscription/API Product profiles.
- Fix live-test findings in reasoning events, reloads, idle-owner
retirement, credential-home cleanup, expired-login model discovery,
launcher pinning, and rerun evidence selection.
- Align control-plane state readers with the transport's 64 MiB bound
while retaining identity, ownership, lifecycle, and size rejection
checks.
- Stabilize two asynchronous CI assertions while retaining actual
outcome and filesystem-evidence checks.

## Verification

Current integration head `f114948376056fe0b6b34c1496ae8667b59daa63`
includes master `3447609d2247e75e55d91493dda91a608364f672` (2026-09-28).
Two master advances during verification overlapped the eval catalog; the
final merge preserves Grok qualification, completion updates, and
bounded API-response reading in all 348 cells. All 77 focused
catalog/eval/workflow tests pass. Both native stack layers (#14397) are
mergeable, and both exact-head Greptile reviews are 5/5 with successful
security scans and no unresolved review threads. All current-head CI is
green: 56 successful checks/statuses and four intentional skips ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36447097232)).
Trunk code-owner requirements remain enforced. The review summary’s
non-blocking saved-asset offset classification note concerns code
already merged in #14301; those runtime files are identical to master
and outside this stack’s diff. Historical live evidence below retains
its original source revisions.


Earlier integration checkpoint:
`24fc9b94ca0afb21ccdc8d26dbb2e4b258ad72cb`. Refreshed against master
`0f14d2612`, preserving Grok qualification alongside the new accounting
and lifecycle suites. All 124 focused catalog, evidence, and
service-worker checks pass. The current base workflow includes the
explicitly selected public-install verification lane; follow-up #14024
supplies its verifier script. CI at that earlier checkpoint was green
(56 successful checks/statuses, four intentional skips), and the review
is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. Prior feature CI at
`fd73f0a9b1ecdf4094685054028df71739ddc3e1` passed ([run
36148259902](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36148259902));
that is historical evidence, not a current-head result.

Paid Product measurements use frozen integrated source
`2d939a92b21dcaf5c77c88b54d96784d2ddd0699`, which combines the feature
with #13973, #13977, and #13979. That source passed all 52 CI checks and
clean 5/5 review. Later master syncs incorporate upstream changes. Their
checks remain separate from these pinned live measurements.

| API smoke and question continuation | [4/4 first attempts; cleanup

both environments at `2d939a92` |
| Historical API Product coverage | [16/16 full
matrix](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35875144860-1/index.html)
and 18/18 core repetitions at `4a1061c8`; retained as measurements of
that revision |
| Native Daytona proof | Three subscription and three API
MCP/permissions/resume runs passed at `bc6833f7`. Three expired-login
admission and fenced refresh checks passed without inference. All test
sandboxes were removed. |
| Inspectable artifacts and UI | Current-source screenshots verify
planning approval, direct Ask completion, question continuation after
controller restart, and two downloadable project revisions. The project
downloads pass 12 and 18 tests; all 40 independent artifact oracle
checks pass. |
| Provider-free checks | 116 eval-validator tests, 39 Grok definitions,
and 359 enabled/external campaign cells pass. Continuation regressions
above 2 MiB and 16 MiB failed before their fixes; 32 focused
recovery/ownership/size checks pass. |

The 32 unique current-source Product attempts have no failures, retries,
or skipped cells, and all cleanup checks pass. Whole-workflow timing,
model identity, image and provider-pack provenance, attempts, and
accounting coverage are retained in the canonical reports. The report
publisher's conservative `complete=false` flag is preserved; independent
audits verify the exact selected source catalog and immutable result
rows.

Image build source is `4196a4cd`, recorded separately from application
source `2d939a92`; each campaign verifies the image signature and
provider pack.

Original failed campaigns remain available: [continuation

and [startup cleanup plus EC2
interruption](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36080870743).
They retain their original grades. No Docker or Rust builds ran on the
developer laptop for these follow-ups.

## Risks

Merge packaging follow-up #14024 with this base before public release.
The follow-up replaces the private Grok bridge package with a built-in
launcher and makes the native binary an explicit sandbox prerequisite.

Three separate, reviewed fixes are part of the tested integrated
behavior: #13973 serializes task-run admission; #13977 captures complete
event evidence; #13979 durably reconciles failed Daytona creation. Each
has green CI and clean 5/5 review. Failed-create recovery has 277 plugin
tests, 92 SDK tests, host-runtime recovery tests, and a real Daytona
lost-deletion-receipt proof. The live proof uses a private file for
journal persistence; database durability is covered by host tests.
Worker death before delivery of a failure envelope remains outside that
recovery mechanism.

Subscription fixtures stage an authorized company login; interactive
browser sign-in is not qualified. Local Product profiles ran on EC2
Linux. The temporary subscription credential was removed from the
protected GitHub environment after all subscription audits, with absence
verified. Runtime homes and refresh copyback remain ownership-fenced.

Protocol results remain pinned to their original revisions; they are not
relabeled as tests of the latest feature commit. New binary/model
versions require qualification. Missing token usage and model cost
remain unknown; runtime estimates do not establish a full bill.
Automatic paid Grok scheduling remains disabled pending separate
reviewed enablement. The 64 MiB bound can increase memory use for
verbose sessions, and larger files still fail closed. No automatic
legacy-agent migration occurs.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool use and code execution. The exact
serving model identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 3447609d22 fix(runner): stream and page large API responses within capture budgets (#14301)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use governed API tools to inspect task evidence.
> - Large API results become saved assets with short previews.
> - Reading an asset through the same tool used to create another asset,
so the agent could not reach the rest of the evidence.
> - The 10 MiB response cap also blocked useful large results. Removing
all bounds allowed excessive disk use.
> - This pull request streams responses up to 1 GiB and makes saved text
readable in bounded pages. It adds durable run budgets and capture
admission limits.
> - Agents can inspect complete evidence while tool results, memory use,
and capture work stay bounded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A large response became an asset. Reading that asset returned another
asset and the same preview. Responses above 10 MiB failed before the
agent could read any page.

**Expected behavior**
The agent can fetch a large response and read its saved text to EOF.
Each page stays bounded. New snapshots have a generous finite limit and
a durable run budget. Existing larger assets remain readable through
byte ranges.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Call a GET operation that returns more than 10 MiB of text or JSON.
2. Before the fix, the tool returns `api_transport_failure`.
3. With this change, responses up to 1 GiB become streamed snapshots
with artifact references.
4. Read `GET /api/assets/{assetId}/content` with `responseText:
{offsetBytes: 0, limitBytes: 8192}`. Follow `nextOffsetBytes` until
null.

Related work: #14186 added the API fallback tools. #14218 bounded API
discovery.

## What Changed

- Add authenticated UTF-8 text windows to `call_api`, with byte offsets
and total size. Keep each page at or below 24 KiB.
- Stream new responses above 24 KiB through private temporary files into
company-owned assets. Bound each capture to 1 GiB of decoded bytes.
Reject oversized declared lengths before reading and count streamed
bytes before writing.
- Reserve capture budget in the run record before spilling. Allow 4 GiB
per run. Settle successful captures to their actual size. Failed or
interrupted captures retain their full 1 GiB reservation. Run restarts
do not reset the budget.
- Enforce a 20 GiB company snapshot quota with database reservations.
Count legacy snapshots and unfinished storage work across runs and
processes. Asset deletion frees quota.
- Limit large captures to two per company and four per server process.
Hold slots through storage upload and temporary-file cleanup. Use a
10-minute download deadline and 30-second connection/idle-read timeouts.
- Return explicit size, budget, busy, and timeout errors. Preserve
unknown outcomes for mutations whose response cannot be captured.
- Read saved assets through authenticated storage ranges, with at most
two extra bytes for UTF-8 and EOF handling. Unpaged reads return the
existing asset and digest with a bounded preview. Reads create no copies
and do not consume capture budget.
- Keep existing assets above 1 GiB readable in pages. Use safe integer
offsets and PostgreSQL `bigint` asset sizes.
- Stream large S3 uploads through ordered multipart requests. Abort
failed uploads and remove partial local files.
- Revalidate run authority during downloads. Keep company authorization,
GET-only text paging, redirect denial, and mutation replay receipts.
- Document the separate 10 MiB upload limits. This PR does not raise
memory-buffered attachment ingestion limits. Future large video uploads
need streamed ingestion and storage quotas.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass after
rebasing on master.
- Focused API and response tests: 1,761 pass. Cover declared and chunked
oversize responses, incorrect Content-Length, exact-limit success,
active-stream deadline, cancellation, cleanup, concurrency admission,
and mutation outcome handling.
- Real HTTP integration: 28 tests pass, including runnerd → PRP →
authority → HTTP, a 12 MiB snapshot, final-page/EOF reads, cross-company
denial, a persisted 3 GiB sparse asset, and large mutation receipt
replay.
- The HTTP suite verifies durable run-budget accounting, simultaneous
runs competing for company quota, legacy snapshot accounting, deletion
refunds, failed-storage reservations, cleaned-failure refunds,
metadata-rollback cleanup refunds, preservation after a lost commit
acknowledgement, and small/saved reads after capture-budget exhaustion.
- A standalone proof streams exactly 1 GiB through the production
capture helper, verifies the final bytes, and removes its temporary
file. It uses repeated 256 KiB chunks and records a peak process RSS of
191 MiB.
- Earlier storage verification covers exact S3 multipart boundaries,
cleanup/abort failures, and a 17 MiB transfer through the real AWS SDK
to a local HTTP S3 endpoint. No cloud S3 qualification was run for this
follow-up.
- The local full test run was interrupted for the company-quota changes.
A later targeted run hit exhausted macOS shared-memory slots before
tests started; two unattached PostgreSQL segments with dead owners were
reclaimed before retrying. All 55 current-head checks pass at
`aebb80ceeeee77d5a56b67bfffd835f2f846878c`, including the full CI test
suite, typecheck, build, browser suites, security scan, and Greptile
(5/5). There are no unresolved review threads. The combined rebased test
catalog also passes (48 tests).
- Earlier paging acceptance passed Daytona and separate staging at
`7739879e9`. Those runs predate the streaming and budget changes.

## Risks

- The 1 GiB response cap and 10-minute active-download deadline are
intentional product limits. Larger live results must use endpoint
pagination or a direct file workflow. Existing larger assets remain
readable through bounded ranges.
- A durable 20 GiB company snapshot quota counts stored runner-api
assets and active/orphan reservations across runs and processes. The
operator can set PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_COMPANY_CAPTURE_MAX_BYTES to a
finite value of at least 1 GiB. Deleting snapshots frees capacity;
possible orphan storage must be reconciled before releasing its
reservation.
- A failed capture uses its full reservation. A new large capture needs
a full 1 GiB available, even if it later completes at a smaller size.
Small reads and existing asset pages remain available.
- Concurrency limits apply per server process. The run byte budget is
shared through the database.
- The `integer` to `bigint` migration rewrites asset metadata and takes
an exclusive table lock. File bytes stay in storage.
- A live endpoint is fetched once before returning its snapshot.
Continue reading the saved artifact for stable pages. Mutations may
commit before any size or transport error; inspect state before
retrying.
- Attachment uploads and native file handoffs still default to 10 MiB.
Raising buffered ingestion paths to GiB sizes is separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The runtime does not expose an exact serving model variant or
context-window size. The earlier paging work also used browser testing
and subagents.

DottaandPaperclip cea8dda472 test: evaluate completion updates after native task handoffs (#13969)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users can delegate work through onboarding and Agent Chat.
> - A completed task does not prove that its result reached the original
conversation.
> - Existing tests do not isolate completion after the source chat
becomes idle.
> - This pull request adds four explicit native-runner probes across
Claude and Codex.
> - The probes preserve the result and reply so we can separate delivery
failures from inaccurate answers.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13775. Refs #13813.

These evals extend native-runner qualification. They measure completion
updates before we choose a product change.

## What Changed

- Add the opt-in `completion-updates` suite with two stories for each
native provider.
- Test completion in the existing onboarding task flow and after an
Agent Chat handoff becomes idle.
- Gate the chat worker on a brief inside its managed project workspace.
Prove the source is idle before releasing the worker.
- Check durable task completion, saved output, a subsequent source
reply, and rendered access to the result.
- Preserve replies, task state, screenshots, run events, and a separate
semantic review rubric.
- Add grader regression tests and update the documented eval contract.
- Preserve the suites added on master and include four completion cases
in the 306-cell catalog.

Production behavior and prompts are unchanged.

## Verification

- Passed all 565 eval support tests across 45 files after merging
current master: `node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts`.
- Passed eval TypeScript: `node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p
tests/runner-e2e/tsconfig.json`.
- Confirmed four selected cells: `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
tests/runner-e2e/launch.ts --list --suite completion-updates`.
- Four-cell behavior campaign on source
`ad47cf1da2b1e36f19f4227cfeb53998720b0b5b`:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36072337485.
- A screenshot-only follow-up waits for the restored source reply to
render after result-link navigation. Its one-cell Claude onboarding
verification passed on final head:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36075716141.
Corrected report:
https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36075716141-1/.
The original four-cell onboarding screenshots caught navigation loading;
its saved reply evidence remains valid. The follow-up again found stale
wording: "That work will run next" was posted 38 seconds after the child
was Done. The four-cell campaign keeps its original source and
measurements.
- Published evidence:
https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36072337485-1/.
- Suite definition:
`afba4d85d6c53d9f64c08b37a2e9cc20481b78f5bd7e2fa012045e2c69444d9d`,
version 6. Models: native `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`, local
execution, one attempt per cell. All four cleanup checks passed.
Onboarding billing coverage is partial; reported zero cost must not be
read as a free run.

| Story | Automated delivery/access | Separate semantic review |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Codex onboarding | Pass | Pass: accurate completion reply with an
accessible result |
| Claude onboarding | Pass | Fail: reply says it will save the note once
the task runs, after the note is already saved and the task is Done |
| Codex idle chat handoff | Fail | Worker completed and saved the note;
no completion reply during the full observation window |
| Claude idle chat handoff | Fail | Worker completed and saved the note;
no completion reply during the full observation window |

Both chat cases positively recorded the source waiting and the worker at
the brief gate before release. Both saved outputs include the brief-only
start time. The opt-in campaign is red because it exposes current
behavior. It is not a required merge gate. The PR does not fix that
product behavior. Semantic review is a recorded human/agent assessment
of retained evidence; it is not an automated prose-quality judge.
- Second campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36071065098. Codex
chat reached the idle boundary and completed its task, then received no
completion reply during the full window. Claude onboarding again
returned a stale handoff answer. Claude chat exceeded the prior
110-second handoff setup budget; this revision raises that bounded setup
window to 180 seconds.
- Retained baseline:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36069427676.
Onboarding passed delivery/access for both providers, but Claude gave a
stale handoff answer. Chat cases stopped at fixture problems; they do
not establish a completion-delivery failure. This revision fixes the
workspace path and competing reference requirements.
- On the previous head `4023a2a3c28d45c9eb2c42d452ce99ffba5c7b73`, 54 PR
checks passed and two were skipped, including typecheck, tests, and
build. Broad checks ran in CI, not locally. That head received Greptile
5/5 with no unresolved findings. The unchanged mobile
repository-settings browser test passed on one targeted retry after a
detached/disabled Save-button timeout.

- Merged current master in `9b4491e1f` and resolved the catalog-count
conflict. Eval support tests and eval TypeScript pass locally. All
individual CI jobs passed on this merge commit, including build,
typecheck, server tests, runner checks, and browser shards. The final
aggregate check also passed: 54 checks passed and two were skipped.
Greptile reviewed this exact commit at 5/5 with no unresolved findings.

## Risks

- These explicit probes can expose current product failures. They do not
change the default paid test selection.
- Mechanical delivery and result access do not establish answer
accuracy. The preserved reply still requires semantic review.
- A fixture failure before the idle boundary or worker completion cannot
establish a completion-update failure.
- The handoff setup window lasts three minutes. The worker brief wait is
bounded at four minutes. The observation window lasts two minutes after
worker completion. It retains later replies without erasing earlier
accessible delivery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, and GitHub tool use. The runtime does not
expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip f2ed0b65c4 fix(runner): enable API tools by default (#14186)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner exposes tools for company tasks.
> - API search and call tools cover operations without a dedicated tool.
> - The current default hides these tools unless an operator sets an
environment variable.
> - This pull request enables the tools when that variable is absent.
> - Operators can still disable the tools or restrict them to selected
companies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13003, which added the guarded API tools.

**What happened?**
The native runner does not advertise `search_api` or `call_api` with the
default server configuration.

**Expected behavior**
The tools are available without a special environment variable. Existing
authorization checks still apply.

**Steps to reproduce**
Remove `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_TOOLS_ENABLED` and
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_TOOLS_COMPANY_IDS`. Create a normal runner
authority. Inspect its tool definitions.

**Paperclip version or commit**
a6c4e7a.

## What Changed

- Enable API tools when the server flag is absent.
- Keep explicit disable, invalid-value rejection, company restrictions,
and binding restrictions.
- Test default tool definitions and run HTTP integration tests without
the enabling flag.
- Update operator and hiring documentation. The existing shared gate
also controls `hire_agent`.
- Use the same policy in the E2E evidence summary so an unset flag is
not reported as disabled.
- Isolate default-availability tests from operator environment
variables.

## Verification

- Red test: two new rollout policy assertions failed before the fix.
- Focused policy, authority, and HTTP tests: 3 files passed; 41 tests
passed, 2 skipped. The two runnerd transport cases require a Rust-built
binary absent from this workspace.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/runner-api-rollout.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.integration.test.ts`.
- Attempted `pnpm -r typecheck`: blocked by missing `cargo` in this
workspace.
- Attempted `pnpm build`: terminated at the 4 GiB memory limit.
- Attempted `pnpm test:run`: stopped after memory pressure to run
focused tests alone.
- Repeated the 41 passing focused tests with an inherited disabled flag
and a foreign-company restriction; test isolation passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 44 files and 543 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` exceeded the workspace memory limit,
including a retry with bounded Go memory settings.
- CI results will be recorded before handoff.

## Risks

- More native runs can discover API tools and the existing `hire_agent`
tool by default.
- The change does not remove company, run, mode, credential, lifecycle,
or approval checks.
- Explicit operator restrictions still take precedence. No database
migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex agent. The runtime does not expose the exact model ID or
context-window size. Used reasoning, repository tools, shell execution,
and tests.

DottaandPaperclip 96bf004a79 fix: use persisted state for lifecycle continuation and retry budgets (#13888)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its control plane decides when a task can continue, wait, stop, or
complete.
> - Legacy continuation could change when an agent changed its wording
without changing task state.
> - Shared attempt counts also let repair and infrastructure retries
affect each other's limits.
> - This pull request uses persisted state and separate, bounded
allowances for these decisions.
> - If automatic repair stops, the task explains what happened and
offers a guarded retry.
> - Paired tests and real-provider evaluations verify that Stop,
approvals, ownership, and spending limits remain authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13761, Refs #11126, Refs #13610. These cover
obsolete continuation dispatch and retry storms. Open and closed issues
and PRs were searched for related lifecycle, continuation, and retry
work.

**What happened?**
Legacy continuation depended on English wording and progress heuristics.
Repair, failure retry, and productive continuation could consume shared
counts. When bounded repair stopped, the task showed a technical
recovery message without a clear next action.

**Expected behavior**
Persisted disposition and owned execution paths determine the next
action. Missing disposition prompts bounded agent repair. Explicit work
mode determines planning mode. Narrative changes and raw activity counts
cannot replenish allowances. An exhausted repair shows a readable
notice. An explicit retry checks current controls and preserves the
assigned agent.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run `pnpm test:lifecycle-baseline`. The paired probes keep structured
state constant while varying completion, planning, blocker, and progress
prose. Run the explicit `lifecycle-baseline` and
`continuation-accounting` Product E2E suites for real-provider coverage.
In Storybook, open **Design previews / Recovery notice** to inspect the
production component's normal, pending, acknowledged, unavailable,
failure, and mobile states.

## What Changed

- Hide the image attachment button, icon, and drop/paste hint in answer
composers. Image paste and drop support remains available.
- Merge current master and retain both browser regression sets. Use a
production-stamped service worker in the offline recovery browser
fixture.
- Share one state-based legacy continuation decision across immediate,
delayed, and recovered dispatch. Bind bounded repairs to their source
run and episode.
- Remove title and description wording from work-mode authority. Agents
can still write requested plans in execution mode.
- Persist separate failure-retry and productive-continuation counters.
Disposition repair and resource waits cannot consume or reset those
allowances.
- Validate delayed repair identity, then recheck current gates before
provider dispatch. Fence native startup cancellation.
- Show **Agent needs attention**, a plain-language explanation, **Retry
agent**, and expandable details in both task interfaces. Report request
progress, acknowledgement, and errors inline.
- Store typed recovery notice metadata. Recognize older active notices
only through exact stored action and run IDs. Notice text never grants
retry authority.
- Use the existing recovery-action endpoint for retry. Recheck current
action, status, owner, agent availability, dependencies, active runs,
pending questions and confirmations, approvals, pause controls, and
budget. Duplicate requests do not wake twice.
- Add component, page, route, database, contract, and Storybook
coverage. Keep the scenario inventory and executable evals here.
Historical reports and snapshots live in the [commit-pinned
paperclip-evals
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/ce3e5afcd4a1184650f586a2b5b8be5874c66c8b/experiments/2026-09-lifecycle-authority/README.md).
- Preserve unsaved project fields while the same project URL changes to
its canonical alias. Do not reuse data across projects or companies.
This separate fix addresses the repeated repository-editor browser
failure without changing the browser test.
- Keep the development service worker from intercepting Vite module
reloads. Update the connection-intent browser fixture to record progress
and completion through the agent API.

## Verification

Merge preparation on September 25, commit
`c1e8e4b7ddd9fbc4913ed55ce21b8e12906c2f97`:

- Merged master `bd2030932` and resolved the browser test-list conflict
by keeping both sets of regressions.
- Deterministic lifecycle baseline: 1,090/1,090 assertions passed; no
failures, skips, or missing selected evidence. Unit 423, runner 184,
database integration 397, grading 86.
- Browser support: 17/17 passed. The offline recovery test first failed
with an unstamped development worker, then passed with the production
stamp. Its assertions are unchanged.
- Focused interaction UI and offline fallback tests: 19/19 passed.
Verified the custom-answer composer in Storybook: no attachment controls
or hint; entering an answer enables Next.
- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed. The worktree is clean. No new real-provider campaign was run.
- Current CI and review: [Current PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36166011243):
55 successful checks and two optional Storybook skips. Greptile scored
this exact commit 5/5. Hiding the question attachment controls is an
intentional UI change; paste/drop remains available.

Earlier recovery UI verification, commit
`21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`:

- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed.
- Focused UI coverage: 338 tests passed across six suites (336 before
the interaction guard, with the two affected suites rerun at 149 passed
after it). Covers both task interfaces, the real page mutation,
pending/error acknowledgement, stale state, and unavailable controls.
- Recovery database integration: 352 tests passed before the interaction
guard. The complete recovery-action and mutation-route suites passed 181
tests after it. The two new pending question/confirmation regressions
failed before the fix and passed afterward, including
resolved-interaction controls. Shared validator suite: 31 passed. E2E
catalog suites: 34 passed.
- Browser inspection passed for light/dark themes, mobile layout,
expandable details, pending retry, acknowledgement, failure, and
disabled retry. Storybook renders the production component; its request
is simulated.
- The broad local run hit two chat callback-order wait failures and was
stopped after all CI unit/database/runner shards passed. Both local
failures passed when rerun without the competing full-suite process.
- CI exposed a repeated project-repository draft-loss race during
canonical redirects. A new unit regression failed before the fix; all
nine project-page tests now pass, including controls for other projects
and companies. Both unchanged repository browser tests passed against a
fresh local server. UI typecheck, production UI build, and token gates
passed after this fix.
- [Earlier PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36072486798)
on `21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`: 55 successful checks, two
optional Storybook skips, and no failed or pending checks. The
repository browser shard passed with the production fix. Greptile is 5/5
on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads. The PR is
mergeable.

Historical, source-qualified lifecycle evidence:

- Lifecycle baseline: 1,074 assertions. Native session coverage: 447
tests. Product E2E support: 515 tests. Browser support: 11 tests. Full
earlier verification is retained in the archive.
- [Real-provider campaign: 8/8 passed, zero
retries](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35881382080-1/index.html),
source `e88d210417280140b44a36449027290adcb1aeaa`. Evidence and cleanup
checks passed. This includes deliberately exhausted repair cases that
correctly remain blocked; it does not mean every task finished Done.
This campaign predates the recovery UI change.
- Archive migration verified all 16 original JSON files byte-for-byte
and all 24 checksum entries. App tests do not need private archive
access. [Archive PR
#27](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/27) is merged.

## Risks

- Agents that omit durable disposition receive at most two repair
attempts by default. Prose-only completion exposes missing state rather
than silently changing scheduling.
- A retry is an explicit board action. The server rechecks current
controls. A successful response confirms the task returned to To do; it
does not claim that the provider has already started.
- Existing notice metadata remains valid. Only older active notices with
matching structured evidence receive the new UI. Historical notices
without that evidence keep their existing rendering. No schema migration
is required.
- Old run records require conservative retry accounting. Tests cover old
counters, alternating retry lanes, restarts, and exhausted repairs.
- Historical snapshots require private `paperclip-evals` access. The app
index retains public campaign links. Live campaigns qualify specific
sources and scenarios; no new real-provider campaign has run for the
recovery UI commit.

> This fixes existing lifecycle and recovery behavior and does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, reasoning, code
execution, and review. The exact serving model ID and context window are
not exposed in this task. Historical real-provider evaluations used
Codex model `gpt-5.6-sol`, separately from the implementation assistant.

DottaandPaperclip f56aee5423 fix(evals): capture complete durable run event streams (#13977)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and records their durable work outcomes.
> - Product E2E checks those outcomes through the browser and public
API.
> - A successful long run can emit more than 1,000 durable events.
> - The harness read one page and missed the later completion evidence.
> - This pull request reads every page before it checks runtime
invariants.
> - Invalid or incomplete capture still fails. A missing page cannot
produce a pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13882 (Grok qualification). A duplicate search found no
existing event-pagination fix.

**What happened?**

The local structured-question case in [campaign
36071063537](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36071063537)
completed the task and passed its six outcome matchers. It failed native
runtime invariants because the capture contained exactly 1,000 events.
The last captured event preceded the run's completion by more than a
minute. The API caps each response at 1,000 rows. The harness did not
request the next page.

**Expected behavior**

Read the complete durable event stream through the public API before
checking semantic-result and terminal-event counts. Reject incomplete or
malformed evidence.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a native task that emits more than 1,000 durable events.
2. Place the semantic-result and terminal events after row 1,000.
3. Capture the run with the Product E2E harness.
4. Before this fix, the invariant checker sees only the first page.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed at `4196a4cd76db434854b679035e4146c7f69689ce`. The same
single-page capture exists on master. The original failed result remains
unchanged; missing historical tail evidence is not reconstructed or
graded as a pass.

## What Changed

- Add a bounded event collector that advances through the public
`afterSeq` cursor.
- Use it for task success/failure evidence and shared chat run evidence.
- Reject invalid pages, missing or non-increasing sequence numbers,
repeated cursors, failed later requests, and an exhausted page limit.
- Test completion events beyond the first page, exact page boundaries,
and malformed evidence.
- Correct the existing Everyday catalog test from 38 to the maintained
47 cells. The suite stays explicit-only.
- Document the complete-capture requirement and its bound.

## Verification

- Product harness typecheck passes.
- The full credential-free harness suite passed 477 tests. After adding
the chat integration regression, all 34 chat evidence tests pass.
- Seventeen pagination tests cover the valid tail and malformed-evidence
cases.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- [Full repository
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36080683422)
passes at `aed6f79c089226be79e75dcf390969561ec4f787`: 52 successful
checks and two intentional skips, including Rust, typecheck, build,
server tests, and browser shards. Greptile gives this exact head 5/5
with no findings. No local Docker, Rust build, browser suite, or model
invocation was used for this change.
- [Live Grok
requalification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36080870743)
is running on combined source
`1b0551bb7c8de3c54f4bee64dbe2c88328b3645e`, with the runner, scheduler,
and evidence fixes. Its full credential-free harness passes all 493
tests and typecheck. Live results are pending; the original campaign
remains a failed measurement.

## Risks

Long runs need more read-only API requests and larger private evidence
files. Capture stops with an explicit error after 100 full pages. This
changes neither production APIs nor provider behavior. It does not relax
an invariant or change a historical grade.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools and code execution.
The exact serving identifier and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip efce9356b5 fix(ui): offer recovery when the app fails before React starts (#13970)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The browser must load its JavaScript before React can render a task.
> - A failed import can stop that process before the React error
boundary exists.
> - The HTML entry then leaves an empty page with no recovery action.
> - This PR adds a small recovery screen that works without React.
> - The user can retry the same page and return to saved task content.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13824 and #13895. This is a follow-up to their browser startup
investigation.

**What happened?**

Interrupting the app bundle or a required import leaves an empty React
root. A startup exception has the same effect. A React error boundary
cannot handle these failures because React has not started.

**Expected behavior**

The page must explain the startup failure and offer a manual retry. A
late successful load must dismiss the recovery message without a reload.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a saved task in the browser.
2. Abort the application bundle request, or make a required module
return HTTP 503.
3. Observe the empty page before this change. With this change, use
Reload page after the fault clears and verify the saved task and
comment.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failing regression baseline used master at `8781f06a8`.

**Deployment mode**

Local source build and compiled UI. Tests cover both initial navigation
and a page controlled by the production service worker.

The exact cause of the older intermittent Vite stall remains
unconfirmed. Forty app loads and thirty replays of retained responses
did not reproduce it. This PR fixes the missing recovery path; it does
not claim to remove that historical cause. A normal HTTP 304 response is
not a failure.

## What Changed

- Add an inline startup guard and recovery screen in the HTML entry. It
does not depend on the app module graph.
- Show a manual reload action after a startup error or after 30 seconds
without rendered root content.
- Remove the notice, timer, observer, and error listeners when the app
starts. Never reload automatically.
- Keep the recovery screen outside the React root so it cannot satisfy
app-readiness checks.
- Add browser tests for interrupted imports, a stalled import, an
evaluation error, service-worker-controlled retry, repeated offline
retry, and cleanup after successful startup.
- Return a static, uncached HTML retry screen when a
service-worker-controlled navigation fails offline. It contains no task
content.
- Add a full-app test that retries an interrupted compiled bundle and
checks the saved task, comment, composer, route, and absence of agent
runs.
- Document the coverage and the limits of the historical diagnosis.

## Verification

- Red baseline: four recovery cases failed; the normal-startup case
passed. After the change, all five recovery cases passed. The review
found an offline retry gap; that additional case failed before the
worker fix and passed afterward.
- Full provider-free browser-support suite: 16 passed.
- Compiled-app browser tests: four passed, including saved-task reload,
interrupted-bundle recovery, slow-CPU service-worker reload, and sidebar
navigation.
- Expanded service-worker, offline response, PWA, and worker build-ID
unit tests: 37 passed. The two old plain-text offline expectations were
reproduced as failures and updated for the HTML retry contract.
- UI production build, full local repository typecheck (`pnpm -r
typecheck`), runner-E2E typecheck, and design token checks passed.
- Manual browser check: a temporary server failed the compiled bundle
once. The recovery screen appeared. Clicking Reload page restored the
same saved task, comment, and composer.
- Full local `pnpm build` passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted with a bounded deadline and
stopped after it timed out. Workspace runtime/cleanup tests reported
timeouts on this host. The monolithic local run is not a pass. The
focused tests above and the complete Linux CI run provide the successful
verification.
- Final-head [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36072201966)
passed. All 53 check runs succeeded; the two Storybook jobs were
intentionally skipped. The legacy security status also passed.
- Greptile reviewed `f83e0f51fb760541d83353f2c1df4e182f3948f9`: 5/5.
Both review findings are fixed and resolved.

## Risks

- The guard only handles startup before React renders root content.
Existing React boundaries handle later rendering errors.
- A slow startup can show the message after 30 seconds. A later
successful render removes it; the page does not reload by itself.
- The fallback uses native HTML when the app stylesheet is unavailable.
- The worker changes only its offline navigation response. It returns
static HTML with a reload button and `Cache-Control: no-store`. Its
cache allowlist, private-response protections, task state, provider
prompts, and grading rules stay unchanged.
- This does not establish or fix the unknown cause of the historical
intermittent Vite stall.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session exposes the GPT-6 family but not
an exact served model ID or context window size. Used reasoning, code
editing, shell tools, and browser testing. No subagents were used.

DottaandPaperclip 950ccb8eef ci: enable Grok qualification in the trusted paid workflow (#13845)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Product E2E tests verify tasks through the browser, server, and
runner.
> - These paid tests use a trusted workflow from master and an isolated
target commit.
> - The Grok target branch selects XAI_API_KEY, but the trusted workflow
does not deliver that credential.
> - Its artifact test also needs the pinned Python verifier before
execution.
> - This pull request adds both bindings inside the existing paid
boundary.
> - The tests can then run on the configured EC2 fleet without laptop
Docker.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related evaluation infrastructure:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11297. No duplicate Grok
paid-workflow change was found.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Branch-targeted Grok Product E2E qualification in the existing paid
workflow.

**Current behavior**

Grok cells cannot receive their selected API credential. The Grok
build-revise case also misses the artifact-verifier setup step.

**Proposed behavior**

Deliver XAI_API_KEY only when the selected matrix credential is
XAI_API_KEY. Prepare the existing pinned verifier for the Grok
qualification suite.

**Reason and benefit**

Run the controller, browser, runner and artifact checks on the EC2
fleet. Preserve default-branch workflow authorization and protected
environment secret access.

## What Changed

- Bind the selected XAI credential only in the paid test step.
- Install the checksum-verified Grok binary for local cells before
provider access.
- Include Grok qualification in the existing pinned artifact-verifier
preparation.
- Add an optional max_parallel input that can only lower the configured
campaign concurrency. Use 1 for the Grok test key.
- Extend security assertions and document setup.

## Verification

- Ran the Product E2E workflow-security tests: 11 passed.
- Checked the diff for whitespace errors.
- Reviewed credential selection, setup ordering, numeric actor gates,
target commit pinning, and trusted report checkout.
- Live Grok execution follows after this workflow is available on
master. This PR does not claim completed Grok qualification.

## Risks

The paid test step can use the selected XAI credential and incur
provider charges. The credential remains in runner-e2e-paid and is
absent from setup, build, and reporting jobs. The default-branch gate
and existing environment restrictions remain in place. No database
migration or product behavior changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code editing, and tool
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9a76390cfa test(runner): improve blank-page diagnostics and infrastructure coverage (#13824)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner E2E tests verify real tasks and retain evidence for failures.
> - Some exposure tests assumed that port 42000 was free.
> - A blank task page could also fail without enough browser startup
evidence.
> - This pull request tests occupied ports and task reloads, and records
private startup diagnostics.
> - These changes make test failures easier to reproduce and explain.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13815. Report publication already received its production fix in
#13750; this PR adds a regression check for that workflow.

**What happened?**

Three exposure tests assumed that the allocator would select port 42000.
The synthetic failure disappeared when another process occupied that
port. A prior Daytona run also retained an empty task page after
navigation, but its evidence did not record pending modules or
service-worker control.

**Expected behavior**

Exposure tests must exercise the intended failure on the actual assigned
port. Browser failure evidence must distinguish an empty root from
loaded content. A saved task must remain usable after navigation and
reload.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the exposure regression with the base port pair marked unavailable.
Run the browser-support tests with an unresolved entry module. Open a
saved task under the service worker, navigate to the same URL, and
reload it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Based on master at a68f3d8e3.

## What Changed

- Make synthetic exposure failures use the assigned port. Test both free
and occupied base pairs.
- Record document readiness, root children, service-worker control,
pending module paths, and recent module error or 304 statuses in private
runner evidence.
- Add browser tests for pending startup, failed module responses, and
diagnostic reset after navigation.
- Add a provider-free browser test for persisted task content and the
composer across three navigation/reload cycles.
- Guard trusted report-job lockfile resolution before frozen install and
AWS credential setup.
- Document the new evidence and test commands.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 443 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:browser-support`: 10 tests passed.
- Exposure tests: 28 passed; 3 platform-specific skips.
- Harness typecheck, workspace typecheck, and full build passed.
- Task-reload browser test passed against a throwaway local instance. It
checks three navigation/reload cycles with a controlling service worker.
- All PR verification suites passed, including server, chat, workspace,
serialized server, Rust, runner, build, typecheck, and browser shards.
The existing sidebar navigation case showed an empty page on the first
CI attempt and passed on one retry.
- The monolithic local `pnpm test:run` was started, then stopped after
CI completed the equivalent suites. Additional local browser
reproduction attempts also hit embedded-Postgres startup failures; the
focused checks listed above completed successfully.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the current head, with no findings.

## Risks

This change affects tests and private test evidence. It does not change
production prompts or runtime behavior. Module paths omit queries; the
collector reads no response bodies or headers. The existing sanitizer
and publication allowlist still apply. A 304 response does not cause a
test failure.

The blank-page cause remains unconfirmed. The first CI attempt
reproduced it in an existing sidebar navigation case: the trace shows an
empty page after a service-worker-mediated 304 response for the large
editor module. The single retry passed. This PR adds coverage and
diagnostics; it does not claim to fix that intermittent symptom.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository tools, code execution, and browser
tests. The exact deployed model variant and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip a68f3d8e35 fix(runner-e2e): align Daytona image and provider pack provenance (#13814)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is an open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Daytona runner image provides the native runner and its provider
package.
> - The controller also sends a provider package to native Daytona cells
when the image package does not match.
> - A stale image and a package from another source revision caused a
1.8 GB upload before Claude could run.
> - This pull request refreshes the reviewed lock checksum and documents
how to reuse the exact package from an immutable image.
> - The benefit is a reproducible setup path and clear evidence when
image and package provenance do not match.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona native Claude run used image source revision
`45c99a0d06cbd5b04982b06b79de321149930ac5` with a controller provider
package from revision `294853dc...`. Runtime verification rejected the
image package and staged a large package upload before model execution.
A hosted campaign also failed during image setup because the Dockerfile
expected lock checksum `d7d96cf0...` while the resolved lockfile
checksum was
`4b796c312833ebf2be4c38228babc0292c76774fb40d43bd18b54bd6b205753d`.

Related public work reviewed:
[#12795](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12795),
[#12862](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12862), and
[#12887](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12887).

**Expected behavior**

The Daytona image and controller provider package must come from the
same verified build. A package extracted from the immutable image must
pass the existing manifest, source revision, lockfile, binary, bridge,
and artifact checks before a native Claude run starts.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set `PAPERCLIP_E2E_DAYTONA_IMAGE` to the old immutable image digest.
2. Set `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_REMOTE_PROVIDER_PACK_PATH` to a package built
from a different source revision.
3. Run a native Claude Daytona cell.
4. Observe provider package verification failure followed by the large
staging upload.
5. Build the image with the stale Dockerfile lock checksum and observe
the checksum failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`3b8df3dcd6f99e99277faa45f3351989edb5c239`.

**Deployment mode**

Daytona native runner E2E.

**Install method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Claude Code through the native ACPX runner.

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Access context**

Not applicable to the setup failure.

## What Changed

- Refreshed `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_LOCK_SHA256` in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` to the resolved lockfile checksum.
- Added a local guide for extracting the provider package from an
immutable verified image with Docker.
- Documented the required provenance checks and the expected
manifest-matched runtime log.
- Documented that cold package upload coverage must remain separate from
recovery coverage.
- Pinned the preview-service test guest to the test runner’s Node
executable and logged guest startup and bound ports for readiness
diagnostics.

## Verification

- 442 focused E2E tests passed.
- Typecheck passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Five provider-pack reuse tests passed.
- Six Daytona image contract tests passed.
- Fixed Daytona campaign
[35740613581](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740613581)
passed.
- The overall hiring campaign
[35739993219](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35739993219)
failed because of an unrelated Mini metadata failure; its Claude cell
passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted but did not complete. The
isolated Postgres install was repaired and its 15-test probe passed.
- After the fixture change, all seven preview reservation tests passed
locally and CI server shard 6/12 passed on `20234f75f`. This removes
login-shell Node resolution variance; the exact cause of the earlier
CI-only timeout is not established.
- CI run
[35766034635](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35766034635)
passed on `20234f75f`. All server, runner, browser, build, and typecheck
gates passed.
- The signoff browser case initially failed waiting for an approver run.
All five signoff tests passed locally without changes; the one allowed
CI retry passed all 19 shard tests. This is recorded as an intermittent
failure, not a demonstrated product fix.
- Greptile reviewed `20234f75f`: 5/5, no actionable findings.
- [Follow-up
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-daytona-hiring-20260922/)
includes timings, evidence links, and the remaining hiring configuration
failure.
- Review the immutable image source revision and extracted
`provider-pack.json` before another paid recovery run.

## Risks

- The Dockerfile checksum gate intentionally fails when the resolved
lockfile changes. A future dependency change must refresh the reviewed
checksum with the image change.
- The local extraction guide requires Docker and a pullable immutable
image.
- An image built from an older source revision can still fail runtime
manifest verification. The guide does not bypass that check.
- The change does not alter runner prompts, approval policy, or recovery
behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex using the primary GPT-6 backend; the exact backend
deployment ID is not exposed. Repository analysis and code execution
used tool access. Assistance also came from OpenAI gpt-5.6-luna.

DottaandPaperclip 74a9730acb fix: continue native agent chats after worker loss (#13813)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat uses native workers to run Claude and Codex
conversations.
> - A worker crash leaves a cleanup hold because its provider did not
acknowledge suspension.
> - A new user message must not reuse that unverified session or repeat
old tool calls.
> - The existing continuation path can preserve history and start a
fresh session, but local cleanup ownership remained held.
> - This pull request verifies the stopped local owners and releases
only their cleanup hold for a new user turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13775.

**What happened?**

After a native worker crashed, both providers retained cleanup
quarantine. A saved plan survived, but the conversation could not
produce another answer.

**Expected behavior**

Once the old worker and provider process groups have stopped, a new user
message can continue in a fresh session with the saved work and prior
action history.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the opt-in `agent-chat-qualification` suite with case
`worker-crash-retry` on native Codex and native Claude. The fixture
saves a plan, kills the exact worker through a Linux pidfd, releases a
local read-only brief, and sends a new message.

## What Changed

- Verify the exact local worker stop receipt, provider identity
receipts, released leases, and retained state before retiring a native
cleanup hold.
- Recheck process liveness and state before admission. Keep the old run
and durable session files intact.
- Use the existing explicit conversation continuation path. Generic
Retry remains blocked for cleanup quarantine, including on the old
failed-run marker after a successful continuation.
- Extend the live oracle to require a successful fresh session, correct
predecessor context, unchanged plan, one original message, and one
answer containing a reference introduced after the crash.
- Add physical-proof and database-backed admission tests. Document the
precise qualification scope.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E: **2/2 passed**, **2/2 cleanup passed**, with real
native `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`, Chromium, server, database,
and public APIs.
- Core recovery proof source:
`3592b04c2bc76e23795fcdf964720e38a409dc4d`. Suite definition version 8:
`9867367994d81a0c726956d91f2c7fddab6417a12f41b5cef3f7e62f3be417da`.
- [Core recovery
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35741746990)
· [Public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35741746990-1/).
- Both cells verify the real crash boundary, blocked generic Retry,
unchanged saved plan, one original prompt, one fresh successor with
predecessor context, and one run-attributed answer containing the
post-crash reference. Billing coverage is partial because the crashed
runs did not report complete usage; missing cost is not zero cost.
- [Master
baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35737364443):
both providers stopped at quarantine, with cleanup passing.
- [Follow-up baseline without the
fix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738638866):
Codex produced a complete red result. Claude reached the same error, but
its artifact upload was canceled.
- [Complete Claude baseline with the same version-8
definition](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740555177):
red at cleanup quarantine, cleanup passed, source
`6479a90c5754044356b39a9278b9a3e92ce8e55e`.
- Earlier candidate attempts remain retained:
[first](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738449214)
passed Codex and found a Claude fixture wait race;
[second](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740408065)
exposed the normalized session-open receipt mismatch. Both corrections
are in the final source.
- Targeted server suites: 570 passed before the final two additional
receipt regression cases. The physical-proof suite, including those
cases, passed 46/46. Eval oracle and catalog: 40 passed. Server and
Product E2E typechecks passed.
- **All 54 PR checks passed on final head `db6f775df`**, including
repository typecheck, build, tests, browser shards, and canary dry run.
The canary job required one retry after its runner received a shutdown
signal. On the earlier core proof head, two timing-sensitive tests
passed in isolation and on a single CI retry.
- Final UI regression checks: 5 passed; UI typecheck and token gates
passed. Updated eval oracle/catalog: 40 passed; eval typecheck passed.
- Final version-9 two-provider campaign: **2/2 passed, 2/2 cleanup
passed**, including the browser assertion that the quarantined
historical run never regains Try again. [Final
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35747416013),
source `db6f775dfff405e1514ec02fedb0450d42c7dad2`, definition hash
`bf5abf1cc45cb6dad4e082fbf818b8fa0f4d8c282776a7e98762b22919eadab7`.
[Final public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35747416013-1/).
Final screenshots and retained state inspected for both providers; cost
coverage remains partial.

## Risks

- Missing or conflicting stop evidence keeps the conversation blocked.
This change does not kill an unverified process.
- This qualifies new user input after local worker loss. It does not
enable automatic replay, exact-session recovery, remote crash recovery,
or native onboarding defaults.
- Old action outcomes remain part of the continuation. A process exit is
not proof that an action did not happen.
- No schema migration or production prompt change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
identifier or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code editing, shell tools, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 5842185e4f fix: surface native cleanup quarantine and add chat qualification evals (#13775)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat needs reliable native execution before native runners
become the onboarding default.
> - Existing stories covered idle reassignment and controller restart,
but not an executing worker handoff or worker process loss.
> - Status answer tests also need to reject stale claims and invented
facts.
> - This pull request adds six opt-in full-stack cells with independent
state assertions and retained evidence.
> - The probes exposed a misleading Retry across server projection and
recovery-banner paths; the fix reports the blocked recovery honestly.
> - The tests preserve failures without changing recovery policy,
production prompts, or onboarding defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #13762. Related: #13765 (Retry targets the latest failed attempt),
#13753 (task context ownership), #13746 (native recovery work).

## What Changed

- Add active reassignment with saved draft and plan preservation,
old-worker cancellation, and successor completion checks.
- Preserve recovery-needed projection when native cleanup fails before
its coordinator exists, refuse a generic retry that would immediately
fail again, and replace the recovery banner's misleading Retry with
Inspect run.
- Add verified local worker process loss with a required successful
continuation; retain a failing qualification result when recovery is
unavailable, while independently verifying the UI/API refuse doomed
retries.
- Add two-turn factual answer checks for current blockers, stale claims,
inactive backlog work, and unknown facts. Retain prose for separate
semantic review.
- Add positive and negative oracle calibration and document fault
isolation, cleanup, billing, and qualification limits.

## Verification

- Eval TypeScript check passes.
- All 442 eval support tests pass locally. The 89 focused server tests
and server typecheck pass. Six recovery-banner UI tests and token gates
pass.
- Initial new-cell campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35657128077. All
six results are retained; four failed on fixture-contract issues and two
exposed real worker cleanup quarantine.
- All 26 existing native onboarding cells:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35656761484 (26/26
passed on master 846336e5a, all cleanup passed).
- Intermediate handoff/fault campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35657945095 (four
retained failures: two overly strict draft oracles, two real crash
quarantines).
- Final active handoff:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35659014397 (2/2
passed on cf6d4ae3a; both cleanup passed).
- Clarified answer-quality fixtures:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35658262695 (2/2
passed on 4a26f10be; both cleanup passed; all four answers semantically
reviewed).
- Quarantine guard regression campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35659580100 (both
API requests correctly refused with 409/no second run, but exposed a
separate misleading Retry in the recovery banner and a fixture wait on a
non-admitted run).
- Final quarantine guard verification:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35661067305
(147e42f7e: both providers verify Inspect run/no Retry, HTTP 409, one
retained run, unchanged saved plan, and successful disposable cleanup.
Both evals intentionally remain red with
`worker_crash_recovery_unqualified`; no successful continuation exists).
The preceding campaign 35658772755 never ran provider cases because
GitHub artifact finalization returned HTTP 403.
- Full repository CI passes on 147e42f7e: typecheck, tests, build, and
browser gates. One unchanged local-service-supervisor readiness test
failed initially; its six-test file passed in isolation and the failed
shard passed on its single rerun. Latest-head rollup: 54 successful, 2
intentionally skipped, no failed or pending checks. Greptile is 5/5 with
zero unresolved findings.
- See tests/runner-e2e/QUALIFICATION-2026-09-21.md for retained attempts
and semantic review. Published reports:
[onboarding](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35656761484-1/),
[handoff](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35659014397-1/),

[crash guards and unqualified
recovery](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35661067305-1/).

## Risks

- Paid cells are explicit-only and local-only. The fault fixture signals
only the exact native run PID after checking its identity.
- Live worker-loss probes currently fail on cleanup quarantine for both
providers. The eval must remain red until there is a usable recovery,
even when preservation and refusal checks pass. Verified cleanup with a
fresh attempt versus exact-session resume remains a product decision.
- Structured facts alone do not qualify prose quality; semantic review
remains separate.
- Onboarding uses the existing runtime switch after the real wizard and
before provider execution. Native UI selection and public defaults
remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact served snapshot and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 846336e5a0 test: harden agent chat setup, interruptions and restart evals (#13762)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage agents through ongoing conversations.
> - Chat users can change instructions while a provider is already
working.
> - Existing chat evals wait for each turn to settle before the next
message.
> - They cannot prove delivery during active work or the saved effect of
a correction.
> - Existing fixtures also enable Agent Chat through the API rather than
the settings UI.
> - This PR adds bounded browser workflows and checks their persisted
outcomes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13741, #13752, #13750.

**What happened?**

The chat suites cover planning, delegation, status, and recovery. They
lack active-turn follow-ups and the experimental settings lifecycle. A
sequential conversation can pass even if messages sent during work are
lost.

**Expected behavior**

A follow-up submitted during a provider turn survives and affects the
final reply. A changed launch day appears in the saved plan. Disabling
Agent Chat rejects new messages while preserving history; re-enabling
resumes the same conversation.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the explicit `agent-chat-stories` suite. It selects three local
cases for each native Claude and Codex profile. An ordinary provider
command waits for a fixture brief file so the browser can send the
follow-up at an observed active-run boundary.

## What Changed

- Add six opt-in Product E2E cells for settings, active follow-ups, and
plan corrections.
- Drive experimental settings through the UI and verify disabled sends
are rejected by the public API.
- Use a bounded file wait in the actual isolated agent workspace, with
provider-written readiness and an undisclosed brief reference.
- Grade persisted user messages, final replies, native run outcomes, and
exact saved plan fields.
- Accept active-turn steering or one queued successor; reject lost
input, duplicate input, and stale outputs.
- Allow one steered run or two sequential runs throughout the shared
harness, while preserving exact counts for other cases.
- Require a single marker-bearing response attributed to the final
provider run.
- Unload the development browser client before restarting the server,
avoiding reconnect/navigation races without weakening the post-restart
memory check.
- Add browser regressions for restart isolation and asynchronously saved
settings switches.
- Document prepared-agent setup, native onboarding limits, and the
separate API-tool rollout gate.

## Verification

- Eval TypeScript check passed.
- Eval support suite: 436 tests passed in 39 files.
- New oracle calibration: six tests passed, including plausible invalid
outcomes.
- Browser support regressions: seven tests passed; the restart
regression was observed failing before the fix.
- Catalog discovery selects exactly six local native cases and leaves
default paid selection unchanged.
- [Consolidated existing native chat
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35643286055-1/):
master `b82661b56`, 33/34 passed, all cleanup passed. The failure was a
browser navigation timeout across restart; the page request returned 200
and the chat rendered.
- [Nine targeted restart/replay
cells](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35645850088-1/)
passed on `1fe2fe275`, including the original failure, across native
Claude/Codex and local/Daytona; all cleanup passed.
- [Initial six-story
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35644832817)
retained all six failures: asynchronous switch assertions, unavailable
fixture paths, and rich-text escaping in raw command comparisons. The
corrected fixtures preserve the same behavioral assertions.
- [Six-story campaign
v2](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35646270035-1/)
on `8232773a0`: 4/6 passed (both settings cases and both Claude
interruptions). Codex could not see the host-temp fixture outside its
workspace; this failed before follow-up delivery was exercised.
- [Four affected interruption
cases](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35647760635-1/)
all passed, including cleanup, on definition v3 / `ad6ac0545`. Files
live inside the actual agent workspace and the observed run workspace is
verified. Both providers saved Friday in the real plan with the
undisclosed brief reference; follow-ups persisted while the original run
was active. Together with both unchanged settings cases from v2, all six
new scenario variants have passing live evidence.
- Final head `ad6ac05456646c09d3452e320279457625353948`: 54 successful
checks, two intentional skips, zero pending/failing checks; mergeable
and clean. Fresh Greptile 5/5, zero unresolved findings.
- Full typecheck, tests, build, and browser CI passed remotely. One
earlier head encountered a signoff-policy browser timing failure; the
final head passed that shard.
- Local pnpm wrapper could not fetch its version/signature metadata in
the restricted environment; local eval checks used the installed Node
executables. Repo-wide validation was completed by GitHub Actions.

## Risks

These are eval-only changes. The file wait is a timing fixture in the
isolated agent workspace, not a production runner hook. Native Codex
host-filesystem isolation stays unchanged. It has a two-minute limit and
is released in `finally`. The prepared-agent settings case is not full
native onboarding: the wizard currently offers legacy adapters. The
disabled-entry assertion uses full document navigation, which clears the
prior React Query cache; preserved history is checked through the public
API and re-enabled chat. No production prompt, rollout default, adapter
behavior, or credential policy changes. Active-task reassignment and
worker-crash recovery remain outside these new cases.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository tools and code execution. The exact
deployment model ID and context window are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 0103cb2292 test: use neutral references in chat hiring evals (#13752)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage agents and their work.
> - The agent chat hiring eval checks delegation, saved output, and
worker reuse.
> - It asks a worker to include a unique reference in each document.
> - The open wording let the worker choose a credential-style label.
> - The existing redactor removed that reference and failed the
coordination check.
> - This PR specifies a neutral reference line while keeping the same
grading checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13741.

**What happened?**

The Codex hiring eval saved a checklist with `Tracking token:
[REDACTED]`. The runner treats the chosen label as credential syntax.
The previous prompt only asked for the identifier and did not choose its
label. This tests a redaction boundary unrelated to hiring and reuse.

**Expected behavior**

The coordination fixture requests ordinary business content with a
neutral reference label. The grader still requires the exact identifier
in the saved output.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run `agent-chat-hardening.runner-codex.local.hire-delegate-reuse` with
the previous fixture. The retained failing attempt is in [campaign
35617045456](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617045456).

## What Changed

- Request `Reference: ...` in the checklist and review documents.
- Increment the hardening suite definition to version 5 and record the
reference format.
- Document the fixture boundary. Production redaction and all grading
checks stay unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` passed: 424 tests in 37 files.
- The catalog lists exactly the Codex and Claude local hiring cells for
the selected case.
- [Live campaign
35620731321](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35620731321)
passed both selected local cells on `d8d7afe21`: native Codex
(`gpt-5.6-sol`) and Claude (`claude-sonnet-5`). Both passed on attempt
1, including cleanup. [Published eval
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35620731321-1/).
- Inspected saved evidence: each provider preserved both exact reference
lines, used the same hired worker for checklist and review, and
completed the final status query. Definition version 5 and hash
`2c1c9f754c049c3e7cafd6c8d0a137e7ca06d546ce1e7b07ad5b7823f0f28db9`
distinguish these results from the prior prompt.
- [PR CI
35620741101](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35620741101):
full build, type checks, and test partitions passed. One unrelated
Telegram integration test initially failed because two random fixture
company IDs produced the same seven-character issue prefix. The failed
shard passed on one retry; no test code was changed. All latest-head
merge checks are green.
- Greptile reviewed `d8d7afe21` at 5/5 with no review threads.

## Risks

The live models can still fail the coordination workflow. This change
does not qualify or change credential-redaction policy. Earlier failed
attempts remain part of the evidence; the new fixture has a distinct
definition version.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository tools and code execution. The exact
deployment model ID and context window are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 9d19f98b50 fix: harden native chat recovery and add coordination evals (#13741)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent chat uses native runner sessions to plan, delegate, and track
that work.
> - A user can press Stop while the native session is still starting.
> - The server can acknowledge that Stop without dispatching it, then
let the session submit a turn.
> - This leaves chat recovery waiting for an execution that the user
expected to stop.
> - This PR waits for the startup handle, dispatches cancellation, and
prevents a late startup from submitting a turn.
> - New full-stack evals check the resulting records and outputs across
Claude and Codex.
> - Those evals also exposed missing ACPX readiness fields, unbounded
polling, and an old-run identity check that rejected valid warm
handoffs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop during native startup could record an acknowledged cancellation
with `dispatched: false`. The provider could then begin work. A
subsequent `/new` stayed queued. A remote Claude follow-up also
exhausted the command journal while probing warm-session readiness: ACPX
never returned the readiness fields required by the shared transport.
Once readiness worked, attachment incorrectly compared the next run
descriptor against the old run ID. The 25 ms polling loop could issue
4,800 commands during its two-minute wait, beyond the 500-command bound.
The existing chat eval treated lifecycle logs as proof of an active
provider turn, so it did not distinguish startup cancellation from
active-turn cancellation.

**Expected behavior**

A Stop during startup must reach the pending session. A late session
must not submit a prompt after Stop. Recovery must retain control when
startup exceeds the bounded wait. Chat evals must check saved task
state, document contents, worker identity, account binding, and
duplicate effects.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude or Codex chat turn.
2. Press Stop after process startup is requested but before the provider
turn starts.
3. Send `/new`, then send a fresh message.
4. On the affected base, cancellation can be acknowledged without
dispatch and the reset stays queued.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live Claude baseline reproduced this on `29d6b3509`. The branch also
includes master commit `0f5fafe16`.

Related work: #13678, #13686, #13693, #13291, #13738. A separate runner
reliability branch also contains a startup-wait fix. Its overlap must be
reconciled before merging; this branch additionally prevents prompt
submission after a late startup.

## What Changed

- Wait for a pending native startup before acknowledging a run-scoped
Stop. Preserve the existing recovery error when that wait expires.
- Keep a Stop guard on startup. Cancel a late handle before it can
submit a provider turn.
- Add regression tests for normal handle publication and publication
after the Stop deadline.
- Back off blocked warm-attachment probes. Keep the fast two-snapshot
barrier, fail closed, and record changed blockers.
- Add red/green tests for delayed readiness, persistent blockers,
alternating readiness, and readiness near the deadline.
- Publish ACPX readiness and blockers. Preserve the old authority’s
event acknowledgement barrier; only settled sessions can proceed to
attachment.
- Bind warm ACPX descriptors to the validated next authority while
retaining old-run event correlation until activation. Preserve session
identity and provider profile checks.
- Exercise two consecutive run rotations through a qualified fake
sidecar, verifying checkpointing, provider identity, pre-activation
rejection, and new-run work admission.
- Separate startup and active-turn cancellation checkpoints in the
browser eval.
- Add 18 explicit native chat eval cells: 12 local and 6 Daytona cells
across Claude and Codex.
- Cover hiring and reuse through managed AI accounts, source-based
review, current blocked-task status, request replay after a lost HTTP
acknowledgement, server restart continuity, and Stop/reset continuity.
- Use ordinary production agent instructions. Enable API tools only for
the two coordination cases that need them.
- Calibrate the matchers with invalid records and outputs. Require
remembered context after restart and a structured status snapshot that
distinguishes the current blocker from history and task status from
active execution. Compare the public issue mutation contract and
relationships during read-only reporting. Preserve before/after source
records in failed eval evidence.
- Fix the lost-ack browser harness and verify it against a real HTTP
server. Check the chat composer after restart instead of waiting for an
unrelated document lifecycle event.
- Document the scope and limits of each case.

## Verification

- The startup regression failed on the unfixed executor and passed after
the fix.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` passed: 424 tests in 37 files.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`
passed: 385 tests.
- [Baseline live
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35608208868):
Claude Stop reproduced the bug. Codex Stop and Claude hire/reuse passed.
Codex delegation was blocked by provider capacity.
- [Eval-only startup
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35609479786):
both providers failed as expected. Both persisted `dispatched: false`
and left `/new` queued.
- [First fixed
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35610533706)
on `c9e95797d`: 10/18 cells passed. Startup Stop passed for both
providers. Failed cases exposed eval harness defects and remote
continuity failures. All attempts remain available.
- [Original workflows and stronger memory
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35611896649)
on `c04324fab`: 9/12 passed. Reassignment, local restart memory, and
startup Stop passed for both providers; Codex remote restart passed.
Claude remote restart exposed the missing readiness contract. Two Codex
planning cells hit provider capacity.
- [Unchanged-model
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35613854548):
Codex planning and backlog creation both passed.
- [18-cell campaign with ACPX
readiness](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35614586963)
on `6a98ef743`: 16/18 passed, including all local/remote Stop and
committed-send cases. Claude remote continuity exposed the
next-authority check, now fixed. Codex hiring produced its checklist,
but the runner redacted the requested marker after it appeared as
“Tracking token: …”. That content-redaction policy is unchanged and
remains an explicit limitation.
- [Structured status
grading](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35614954725)
on `50448c228`: both providers passed on their first attempt, including
cleanup.
- [Complete read-only state
grading](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35616089011)
on `551e13892`: both providers passed.
- [Final ACPX handoff and hiring
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617045456)
on `cbd637587`: all three Claude Daytona cases passed (restart
continuity, active Stop/reset, and lost-ack replay). Codex hiring
reproduced the content-redaction failure: the saved checklist contained
`Tracking token: [REDACTED]` instead of the required business marker.
All four cases completed cleanup successfully. [Published
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35617045456-1/).
The only subsequent commit adds the qualified-sidecar integration test;
production code is identical to this live proof.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:browser-support` passed: 5 browser tests without
paid models.
- Runner TypeScript typecheck passed. All 5 warm-readiness tests pass;
two failed with the prior fixed-rate loop, and the late-readiness test
failed before the pacing correction.
- ACPX readiness and warm-identity regressions each failed before their
fixes. All 292 runner-core Rust library tests passed. The
qualified-sidecar integration test passes. Rust formatting is checked.
- Status-grader regressions for misleading historical mentions and
previously unchecked mutations each failed before tightening the oracle
and pass now.
- [Latest-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617522307)
passed on `a4093c8f1`: full build, type checks, test partitions, browser
E2E, and native runner checks. Two unrelated tests initially failed
(Sentry fixture release attribution and local-service fixture
readiness); both passed locally together (35 passed, 5 optional SDK
tests skipped) and on the failed-job retry. No changes were made to
those tests.
- Greptile reviewed `a4093c8f1` at 5/5; both earlier findings are fixed
and all review threads are resolved.
- The paid live suite is not fully green: the reproducible
content-redaction case remains red. This is separate from the passing PR
merge checks. No production content-redaction, prompt, model, or
completion-policy change is included.
- Managed-account hiring and review cases explicitly enable API tools;
these do not qualify default new-user onboarding.

## Risks

- Stop can wait up to 30 seconds for startup, then use the existing
pending-recovery path. This does not prove that remote cleanup has
finished.
- Blocked warm readiness adds up to 750 ms between later probes with the
two-minute remote budget, or about 32 ms with the default five-second
budget. Ready sessions retain the short second barrier.
- Paid evals can fail because of provider capacity or agent decisions.
Each failure needs evidence-based classification.
- The HTTP request replay case checks comment idempotency and duplicate
effects. It does not prove replay safety for an ambiguous provider tool
call.
- The new suite is opt-in. It does not increase the default paid
campaign.
- No production prompts or model selection change. Review-handoff
behavior and content-redaction policy remain separate product decisions.
The latter can remove harmless business content that looks like
credential syntax; the failing attempt is retained.

deployment model ID and context window are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 04546c82d5 fix(runner): reconnect Daytona sessions after controller restart (#13691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner can execute a task inside a Daytona sandbox.
> - The sandbox can keep running when the Paperclip controller restarts.
> - Recovery treated sandbox process IDs as local process IDs and
selected the wrong recovery path.
> - Live verification also found races between startup, shutdown, and
queued task cleanup.
> - This pull request verifies the existing remote owner and orders
those transitions.
> - Users can continue the same task and provider session after a
controller restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Daytona `recover-controller` cases failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`. Remote process IDs can be absent on
the controller or collide with unrelated local processes. Recovery then
looked for remote state in the local runner directory. Later turns could
also start before the previous executor released its sandbox resources.

**Expected behavior**

Reconnect to the original sandbox and authenticated runner. Preserve the
task, provider session, and queued comments. Reject a replacement
sandbox or mismatched identity. Do not start another provider during
reattachment.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `everyday-workflows` `recover-controller` case for
`runner-codex` or `runner-acpx-claude` in Daytona. The browser creates a
Python tool, requests a revision, restarts the controller during
execution, and queues another revision. It then downloads and tests the
final ZIP.

Related: #13682 is the preceding operational fix. #13291 addresses
legacy sandbox conversation recovery, a different execution path. #13666
includes broader run-capacity work; this change guards cleanup of an
existing native task executor.

## What Changed

- Add remote runner recovery without interpreting sandbox PIDs on the
controller.
- Verify the original provider lease, remote workspace, durable state,
process marker, and authenticated PRP authority before adoption.
- Compare the process marker with live Linux boot identity and start
ticks to reject PID reuse. Read virtual proc files through the
guaranteed Node runtime; unavailable proof blocks adoption without
blocking a fresh launch.
- Make the E2E supervisor own the actual server process so forced
restart cannot leave a late database closer behind.
- Scope the chat delivery lease test to its own fixture instead of
draining other tests’ pending deliveries.
- Preserve provider-attempt counts and recorded evidence during
reattachment.
- Serialize an idle-session checkpoint with admission of the next native
turn.
- Wait for an in-progress startup to acknowledge restart detachment.
Fail after a bounded deadline if it cannot.
- Keep a queued comment waiting until the previous native task executor
releases its resources. Allow unrelated tasks to continue.
- Update the Daytona image's resolved lock digest to match current
dependency manifests.
- Add classifier, ownership, process, startup, checkpoint, and
queued-admission regression tests. Document recovery behavior.

## Verification

- 415 focused tests passed across native execution, restart recovery,
workspace synchronization, queued admission, and real-process restart
tests. The final Node-based fingerprint change passed all 375
native-session tests.
- Runner harness unit tests: 394 passed. Chat integration shard 2: 335
passed after fixture isolation.
- The exact fingerprint command succeeded twice in a disposable Daytona
sandbox and returned the same identity; the sandbox was deleted.
- 11 real-process restart integration tests passed, including absent and
colliding remote PIDs.
- Repository typecheck and final build passed. Broad local checks found
machine-dependent database startup and timing failures; focused retries
passed. The final-revision PR pipeline is green. One unrelated browser
shard hit a five-second blank-page timeout on the first run and passed
its targeted retry.
- Final-revision local headed browser E2E:
`everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.daytona.recover-controller`
passed on attempt 1 in 4.7 minutes, **40/40 checks**. Manual browser
inspection confirmed Done, all three ZIPs, and delivery of the queued
follow-up. All three runs succeeded using the same provider session. The
harness downloaded and independently tested the final artifact.
- Final-revision Daytona campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35463999611 —
**Codex passed first attempt (4.8 minutes); ACPX Claude passed first
attempt (6.1 minutes)**. Campaign aggregation/publication is finishing;
both test jobs succeeded.
- Greptile reviewed `beb08d8493b3286f5bb988dead369ff8c96a395d`: **5/5**,
no open findings.
- Staging browser verification is pending selection of a disposable
staging instance and removal of a Chrome extension UI block.

## Risks

- Recovery now depends on the original sandbox remaining available. A
replacement or mismatched identity still blocks adoption.
- Shutdown waits up to 30 seconds for a native startup to reach a safe
detach point. An unfinished startup returns a clear failure instead of a
false detach receipt.
- Queued native work on the same task waits for cleanup. Unrelated tasks
remain eligible.
- The image digest update rebuilds the Daytona runtime image. No
database migration or public API change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, code execution, and
browser tools. The runtime does not expose the exact deployed model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 64895f187b fix(runner): clarify completion errors and restart test failures (#13682)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work across persistent agent sessions.
> - The runner validates completion calls before accepting their
results.
> - Generic validation errors can leave the agent unable to repair a
rejected call.
> - Restart tests also exempted every later failure on an intentionally
interrupted run.
> - This change gives bounded schema feedback and limits the test
exemption to expected interruption outcomes.
> - Failures become easier to repair and diagnose without changing
authorization or task prompts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13674 and #13676. Related environment and Agent Chat fixes landed
in #13677 and #13678. Those changes do not cover these diagnostics.

**What happened?**

A malformed completion call received a general field list without the
failed schema location. The everyday restart test hid later adapter
errors on an intentionally interrupted run until its deadline. A clean
pnpm install also broke the shutdown test because it resolved an
undeclared Playwright package.

**Expected behavior**

Return enough schema information to repair completion calls without
returning submitted values. Fail promptly on an unexpected recovery
error. Resolve the declared test package's CLI.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the new completion-validation and everyday lifecycle regressions
against the parent commit. The new assertions fail there. Run the
shutdown test in a clean workspace installation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Based on master c1f6c3310.

**Deployment mode**

Native runner and Runner E2E harness, local and Daytona.

## What Changed

- Add up to three schema locations and missing field names to rejected
completion-tool feedback. Limit the message to 512 bytes. Do not echo
input values or unknown input keys.
- Preserve generic errors for other or unauthorized tools.
- Exempt only expected cancellation, shutdown, and process-loss outcomes
in fault-injection tests. Apply the same rule while polling and grading.
- Fail promptly when persisted review timestamps prove the required
blocked-parent ordering was not exercised. Wait when separately fetched
snapshots lack that evidence. Keep the boundary requirement.
- Use the CLI export from the declared Playwright test dependency.
- Add red/green regressions and document the interruption rule.

## Verification

- 393 Runner E2E harness tests pass.
- 291 runner-core library tests pass.
- Harness typecheck and runner TypeScript build pass; Rust formatting
and git diff checks pass.
- The baseline completion regression and three lifecycle assertions
failed before the fix and pass after it.
- Fresh worker-setup rerun:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35449301275 (7/8
passed). Mini completed the child review and both tasks, but did not
enter the blocked-parent-before-review ordering required by that case.
The new diagnostic identifies this unexercised boundary promptly; it
does not turn the case into a pass.
- Candidate Mini rerun:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35449686308. The
recording has one rejected completion followed by success, compared with
12 validation errors in the baseline. The case still fails because it
does not hire the requested teammate, despite delivering a ZIP that
passes artifact checks. This is not a behavioral pass claim.
- Updated report:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-operational-35444497313/investigation.html.
- All 55 PR checks are successful or skipped on 4d2c91869, including
repository typecheck, build, tests, native Runner checks, and Greptile
5/5. The reviewer withdrew the diagnostic finding after confirming the
conservative behavior avoids false rejection from non-atomic snapshots.
Local verification was limited to the affected harness and runner.

## Risks

Schema feedback must remain bounded and exclude submitted values.
Stricter fault grading can expose previously hidden failures. The
Daytona restart identity bug and remaining behavior failures are not
fixed here. Runtime authorization, completion validation, and production
prompts remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository inspection, code editing, and
test execution. The exact deployment identifier and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 4cfc0e3f6c fix(runner-e2e): provision complete worker prerequisites (#13674)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work performed by AI agents.
> - Runner E2E tests verify that work in local and remote environments.
> - The full catalog exposed setup failures before agents could execute
tasks.
> - ACPX Codex missed sandbox provisioning, and new artifact cases
missed Docker preparation.
> - A host Claude version probe also stopped native Claude stories that
use a packaged provider.
> - This pull request repairs trusted worker setup and keeps its
selectors covered by catalog tests.
> - The resulting reruns can measure behavior instead of missing
prerequisites.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #13655. Full-catalog campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353.

**What happened?**

ACPX Codex could not start its sandbox. New artifact stories missed
Docker preparation. Native Claude stories tried to spawn an unrelated
host CLI. The report job failed on trusted lockfile drift.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Prepare each worker's required capabilities before paid execution and
publish the retained results from trusted code.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run local ACPX Codex, everyday agent-review-handoff, or native Claude
everyday cells in the full-stack workflow at 43acbcc39.

## What Changed

- Include local ACPX Codex in exact-binary sandbox provisioning and
preflight.
- Prepare the pinned artifact oracle for agent-review-handoff. Do not
require it for skill creation.
- Remove host CLI version probes from native everyday stories.
- Retry GitHub actor lookup up to three times, with a deadline, while
retaining all authorization checks.
- Resolve reporter dependencies from the trusted checkout before its
frozen install.
- Test worker selections against the catalog and document the
default-branch requirement.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 383 tests pass.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`: passes.
- PR checks: 54 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile: 5/5, no
inline findings.
- The paid workflow reads trusted setup from master. These setup changes
need to land before the affected Linux cells can verify them. Runtime
fixes and other affected reruns are on a separate branch.

## Risks

The setup selectors decide which workers receive sandbox policy and
Docker preparation. Catalog coverage checks their scope. Actor lookup
still fails closed. Reporter dependency resolution uses only the trusted
checkout; target branch code does not receive publication credentials.
No production prompt changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository inspection, code editing, and
test execution. The exact API model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 43acbcc398 fix(runner): preserve sessions and complete question and approval continuations (#13655)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task state to provider sessions.
> - Follow-up turns must retain provider memory and carry new user
direction.
> - Lost session IDs caused repeated context and extra input tokens.
> - Native question answers and approval races could leave valid work
blocked.
> - This pull request repairs those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue accepted work without repeating the conversation
or losing the user's answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13574. That merged PR shortened continuation prompts and moved
question instructions into tool documentation. This change preserves
sessions and fixes failures exposed by broader testing. Related runtime
work: #13408 and #13410.

**What happened?**

Native follow-up turns could lose the provider session ID. Completion
guidance could replace the original task with its latest comment. Claude
native questions could remain pending after the user answered. Approval
during a running tool call could suspend the run before the tool
response arrived. Onboarding and chat handoff instructions also caused
repeated planning or missing plan documents.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse a valid provider session. Send only new events when that session
already has the history. Preserve the task requirements and apply later
user direction. Store the question answer and deliver it to the waiting
run. Finish governed tool responses before suspending. Execute the
accepted plan without asking for the same approval again.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the continuation, local-session-integrity, first-task, and
agent-chat suites with native Codex and Claude. Include
provider-question-bridge, accept-while-running, and plan-handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch is based on master d54b75011. The active full catalog run
tests 4e75881db. Later review fixes have separate regression coverage.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and Daytona sandboxes in the existing Runner
full-stack E2E harness.

## What Changed

- Retain provider session identity across turns and late usage
snapshots. Send new continuation events on session reuse, with full
context available for a fresh session.
- Preserve task requirements and later direction in completion guidance.
Return the current contract revision after a stale completion
submission.
- Bridge native Claude questions to saved Paperclip cards. Submit
answers through the saved card and resume the same run.
- Delay governed suspension until tool results settle. Add a
deterministic test barrier for approval during an active run.
- Clarify free-text question examples, explicit onboarding plans, and
execution of accepted chat plans.
- Fix continuation readiness, verified output evidence, and declared
screenshot collection.
- Qualify the legacy Claude test CLI at 2.1.277. The old 2.1.19 CLI did
not discover mounted skills. Update the existing workflow pin and
isolated launcher together.
- Refresh the Daytona image lockfile integrity pin after reviewing
master patch updates.
- Carry continuation mode as runtime metadata instead of inferring it
from user-visible text. Install the test Claude CLI without lifecycle
scripts.

## Verification

- Targeted paid verification: 20/20 cases passed across
local-environment campaigns before the rebase.
[Report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-seven-fixes-35397904249/).
- Harness checks: 379 unit tests passed; harness typecheck passed.
- Latest-head PR checks: 55 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile
is 5/5; the security scan passes.
- Review regressions: 350 executor tests and 204 session/driver tests
passed. A script-free Claude install was verified with the actual CLI.
- Full catalog, including the explicit-only everyday suite: [run
35417932353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353).
Completed: **164/205 passed; 41 failed**. [Full dashboard and failure
investigation](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/).
Includes 204 case artifacts and one pre-case GitHub authorization
timeout; missing evidence is not scored as a pass. The full run tested
`4e75881db`; Final-head metadata/CLI smoke cases both passed. In the
separate [six infrastructure
retries](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35419769343),
the GitHub timeout case passed and all five Docker preflight failures
repeated. [Follow-up
dashboard](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/follow-up/).
- Full local typecheck and build passed on the rebased branch. The full
local unit run completed with 657 passing files, two test timeouts and
one suite setup timeout. All three affected files passed when rerun in
isolation (84 tests). The first full local run was not clean.
- Focused regression coverage includes the live question bridge,
same-run response delivery, UI routing, stale revisions, approval
overlap, and session reuse.

## Full-catalog follow-ups

- Test infrastructure: 14 Claude everyday cells probe an absent host
CLI; six cells failed pre-task GitHub/Docker qualification (GitHub
passes on retry; all five Docker cases repeat; the workflow preflight
allowlist omits their case IDs); five ACPX Codex cells cannot create
sandbox namespaces.
- Runtime: four OpenCode completion-criteria mismatches masked by
shutdown errors, one service-approval suspension failure; three Daytona
recovery failures encounter existing skill files; one duplicate
completion wake.
- Confirmed test defects: question pagination and a noncanonical plan
document key.
- Product/behavior: mismatched visible/required question sets, an
attachment instead of the requested task document, one lone-option
onboarding question, early completion instead of review, and a Codex
Mini completion-schema failure.
- The report job itself fails on trusted master’s stale patch/lock
configuration. The linked report is rebuilt with the shared renderer
from original cell results and public fixture screenshots; it excludes
private snapshots, logs and traces.

These are investigated follow-ups, not silently regraded passes.
First-task passed 51/52. The PR checks are green independently of the
broader catalog’s behavioral/infrastructure failures.

## Risks

- Session reuse depends on a valid provider identity and context
coverage. Fresh-session fallback and reset tests cover this boundary.
- Native question delivery spans saved interaction state and a live
provider run. Tests cover duplicate events, closed runs, and same-run
answers.
- Provider behavior varies. The full paid catalog may expose failures
beyond these targeted fixes; those results will be reported without
relaxing valid approval or output checks.
- The legacy Claude version update is limited to test infrastructure. No
database migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser/E2E tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
